5 In the Dashboard (or the Behaviors tab of the Inspector), adjust the following
parameters:
a Drag the Rate slider to 90.
b Drag the Position Offset slider to 15.
c Drag the End Offset slider to 5.
6 Play the project.
The text moves across the screen from right to left, ending at the object’s original
position. The End Offset parameter instructs the object to reach its final position 5
frames before the end of the object. If your “kenya | bila shaka pride” object is not fully
visible at the end of the project, you can move it to the left in order to correct this.
7 Press Command+S to save the project.
Creating an Animated Glow
Now you animate a glow effect on a duplicate of the original. In this case, you use the
first text object you created.

Toolbar.
2 In the Layers list, select the text object “the serengeti,” then choose Edit > Copy (or
press Command+C).
3 Choose Edit > Paste (or press Command+V).
